HM Butterfly Spring

 

What could be better than lying in warm chocolate with flowers and butterflies all around?  

I made the background like this: I diecut butterfly shapes from watercolour paper, coloured them with water-based pens and spritzed with water a lot, then printed them onto a large sheet of wet watercolour paper.  

House mouse is stamped, coloured, then cut out and applied to the background.

I like these spring colours, and the flowering begins.  Spring always makes me want to sew, and now we are in September (spring here in NZ) I am gathering fabrics and patterns.  I also have a grand daughter (Rhiannon, 9) who wants to make herself a quilt.
I know for some people, Autumn is when they start thinking quilts, so this is for you too.
